Lol. I wish.

I was serving out a spambot ban after posting a link on the sister thread.

Oh! I see. It's coming soon bro. We are waiting for the explosive news.

Stencil:
IRCC counts 30+ as full time. Anything above that is still seen as "30"/Full time. That is why those who claim part time hours use that formula to calculate what the 30 hour/Full time equivalent would be.

So if you worked 60 hours a week for 12 months. You have One year experience, same as someone who worked 30 hours a week for 12 months.

Thanks for the clarification boss, so only hours less than 30hours will need to use the formula stated.

Krakboi:
Thanks! So the ADR from AVO is indicative of goodnews loading abi?

Yup! Based on trends, it's safe to say that.

Lmao! That was the first color that I immediately remembered. The cockroach thingy @yemblaze knows the rest

Stencil:
LOL Dont get her started with her "cockroach brown"

@wasseynewest congrats!!!! Very happy for you and fam. @topsamen abeg I no fit spell ur username, lol. Patiently waiting for urs.

Jbelieve:

Ah. We plenty o. Oya join the selfie.

Thanks for your response. Did your Reference Num change? Were you able to enter the pool or you had to wait until the new certificate was sent?

Itzchord:

Thank you sis! Thank you!!

ladymarshall:
Congratulations!!!!! So happy for you!!!!

Honestly if not that writing is subjective and never perfect, I would have scored you 10. I really enjoyed your script and laughed many times.

Really nice introduction. Your script had a nice flow. Thank you for your elaborating.

@bolded resonated with me so much, I totally understand, hmm!

But why leave out the crucial detail na? Worry not about privacy, we still won't know you in real life So that is minus 2 But for giving back and relating the full gist, I will score you 9.7.

You have made your mum proud and she is definitely smiling back at you. Now go and succeed in Cannyland.

@ladymarshall. Sis, I sent you a PM. I need your kind assistance. Respond pls.

I don't think so. The yearly experience is measured in months not hours. So 30-40 hours for 12 months make a year experience or 2 part time jobs (15-20 hours each) for 12 months make up a year

Almighty ladymarshall, thank you so much for shedding more light to @stencil clarification. You and @topsmamen are number one on the list of selfless helpers currently on the group, followed closely by the regulars, they know themselves. Boss @wasseynewest, madam never conclude this our PPR gist. As leader wey you be others also had to put us in we will be back for details because your own gist never drop. Congrats to everyone and may this new sojourn favour y'all.

PopularGingo:

I’m asking on behalf of my boyfriend, he wants to apply for express entry. He’s self employed, business registered since 2013. My question is this:

1. What will be his NOC code- He draws sketches & design on computer then give instructions to tailors to sew them. He also brands clothes and caps with pictures and designs. He makes clothings on special order.
He thinks his NOC should be http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/noc/Profile.aspx?val=4&val1=5243&ver=16
Or something graphics related. 5241

2. Most of his payment was either cash or paid into his personal account. Will showing his personal bank statement be good enough evidence since no business account?

3. How will he show hours of self employment equivalent to the 30hrs a week full time requirement?

4. He’s submitting neco because thats what he has, what’s the procedure for sending neco?

1 - Please take a look at NOCs 5243 well. "Designers in this unit group conceptualize and produce designs for [s]film, television, theatre and video productions,[/s] garments and textiles". 5223 is another to read through. Let him check his experience and match against these NOCs to see which best fits his job.

2/3 - See my Nairalander sis here who applied as self-employed (her work experience - Print Production Manager).

We are in this boat together. Good thing is this boat won't sink. The PPR will come! Stay positive.

To the best of my knowledge, you can now scratch the card and input in that column except you are planning to send it along with your WAEC transcript then I may say the form is not necessary but let @avidreader and those who are vast at this weigh in on the matter. I call shotgun on either @topsmamen or @ladymarshall. One of them go soon sama you with better reply

** clears throat**
Sorry for the delay..... I need to add sauce to the gist ni jare.....

Guys!!!!! It's PPRRRRR!!!!!

Alhamdulillahx3ce, robil al'amin

Am so excited�����. You might be wondering who is this but it's your boy(wasseynewest) pppprrrrrrr......yeeeaaahh

LOOONNNNNGGGGG POST ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

So i decided am going to be the one to announce our ppr, Yes i just feel like It, so to the main gist.

Idea to japaa January 2018, actually one of my hubby's former boss that has successfully relocated in 2017 told him about express entry in 2017, he told me about it and the otondo me that hasn't travelled out of naija before was like..... so oo. I really wasn't interested at first cause I know nothing about the whole express entry stuff. Fast forward to Jan 2018 after my birthday which was Jan 17, bobo said we are going to do our passport o, that he has asked his uncle about how to go about it and he already collected the number of a man that's actually going to help us out there.

PASSPORT PROCESSING....JAN 18. We went with our two boys and spent the day there, the man wasn't of much help actually after we paid he said his going out(that was how he japaa) and handed us over to another officer there,that one no even say make him even come look our face, as people that came after us self were being smuggled in by the people they know, we were waiting on queue ni o, and uncle number don switch off, not even knowing we were suppose to go somewhere else first, where they will ask me and hubby few question about our family and children. Thank God one of my boys run go that side and as we were trying to catch him na im we run into the lady that did some photocopies for us downstairs in fact that was where we paid to the man, and even she self was surprised say we still dey, in short she was the one that sha told us about the interview and where we go enter do am, the woman that was to interview us self was angry say she don dey call us since, we sha Do the interview and left there. To cut the short story long��, we were among the last batch they attended to and we left there, bobo(newest) was angry with the man anyways.

ECA: this wasn't that stressful plus WES have not started asking for WAEC then, apart from the fact that hubbys schools both ojere and ibadan over charged him as per say him be politician for school and their faculty president for poly ibadan, they charge am small. As for me being a product of a better by far university(unilorin)�� it didn't cost me much, I spent like 11500 or so plus courier and all and I gave the lady in charge 1k out of my free Will, I didn't even go there myself, I sent someone....so
My ECA. August 7
Hubby. August ending sha can't remember the date.

IELTS.....omg... the toughest but God came through for us Alhamdulillah, hubby already shared that testimony here so wouldn't be writting much on it before una say I too like story.
Hubby IELTS 6th attempt
L 8.5, W7, R 7, S 7 he's the PA.
ME L8 W6.5 R7 S7.5. We battled with IELTS from May 12 to Oct before the breakthrough.

PCC Newest got inspector moshood's no on this thread, he's quiet a funny man. It was a smooth and fast process.

MEDICALS: we were lucky enough to get an already booked date easily, hubby also met the guy on this platform. He announced on the thread that if there's anyone interested on the date because he couldn't wait again and that he is going for the IOM option, so we accepted the date and went for medical before ITA, It was smooth too we were the first to get there and got the no 1 tag for all colours. We finished around after 10.

POF;Not that easy but we thank God. My hubby' s uncle in the US helped with part of the payment and we did gift deed, also sold off some stuff plus bobo's salary that he's been saving up. Mehn.....this journey require a lot fund oooo.

REFFERENCE LETTER:
Hubby got his ref letter from previous company. Oh....in his present company he was unable to get the letter from the HR department on a letter head paper although one of his senior colleague(supervisor) was able to get his within 5days and told him how to go about, but we never hear anything. He later asked his supervisor to write for him on a plain A4 papper and added all the necessary addables- I don't know if the word is correct oo....you sha understand what i mean rai, � I know you do�.We submitted our application o in the hope that when the letter headed ref come we will raise a CSE to upload it and explain why it was late-- bad idea right(yes), that was newest idea but I discouraged him(beauty with brain), but I couldn't pass IELTS writting with that brain�‍♀���. The ref letter arrived two o weeks ago, must have been stuck on third mainland bridge hold up....

Meanwhile, congrats to all PPR clinchers at this time

mrhumandelis:
Let's assume (as the PA)
- you are less than 30
- you managed to get the best possible IELTS scores (LSRW: 8.5 7.5 8.0 7.5)
- you both have no siblings in Canada, no PNP etc
- your husband also does IELTS and get's 8 7 7 7
the best score you could get with only your BSc is 445
without your husband doing IELTS: 423

Let's assume your husband is the PA
- with same IELTS scores as you (LSRW: 8.5 7.5 8.0 7.5)
- His scores can get as high as 482
- 462 if you do not even do IELTS
- 447 if he is 36 years and you did IELTS

Play with the Crs tool thing http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp and find out.

If your husband is below 35, you should consider trying to convince him to at least prepare for IELTS. He may not need much study as you think.

thank you so much for this. I'm below 28, my husband is 33. I now understand it clearly.

Good evening Sir/Ma


Thanks so so much for the wonderful job u and others are doing in the EE section.

I sincerely appreciate.God bless really good.


I got to a particular page today and I saw the post of someone rejected because of wrong NOC.I hope the person finds help soon.

So I decided to reach out for help in order to make the right decision.


Although am in the pool currently but I still need to improve my score.


I am claiming two NOCs.I don't have problem with the first one NOC 6235 as it was stated that bank marketers can use that.My problem is the second NOC.


I currently work with a company that involves in the redistribution of Alcoholic drinks in Nigeria and I am currently the Territory Sales Manager for a particular State.


Kindly assist me in matching my duties with the appropriate NOC. 


Below are my job descriptions:



Duties/Responsibilities:

 

·         Oversees and takes charge of the Sales and Operational activities of the territory; by ensuring effective redistribution of all brands of alcoholic drinks, ensuring prompt payment by retail creditors and takes appropriate actions to meet targets.

I dont know if NOC 0621 actually suits my JD.


Kindly assist please.


Thanks everyone.
